new mobo fitted due to old mobo frying itself. could random unwarned reboots be syptoms of the HDD being *****xed BIOS screen holds ok but when in an o/s even after a format it reboots as and when it fancies. psu ok no mem leaks all tested as single banks i'm at my witts end

well done dude hope it all goes well

murty .... is xfire integrated with ps3 and eggbox gamers or just pc... he wants to fight me :D was telling m8 in work about it today sound interesting when my pc is sorted

it just restarted while in safe mode after about 40 mins that don't look like a windows thing? also restarted with a single mem bank in and whilst re installing windows .......... will try the old board tomorrow I'm at my freekin wit's end :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal

i did that shortly after to as I though the same but fan speed like for like with last board was 15c cooler

think this might be a problem. Anyone know the stock voltage for a q6600 max is 1.35v on the box think I may have had to alter this on my last board seems hot for idle too last board was around 27c with same heatsink

random restarting and driver has stopped working warnings etc looks like a fresh windows install is in order see how that goes

not use either, used to speak to my mrs on msn when I met her but that's the only time what's xfire? I need to have a game on sumthin gonna see if left 4 dead works :D I have a gaming hardon need to relieve it

wuhooooooooooooo we're back on line giggity giggity awwwwwwwwwwright

need a shoe horn for that one murty :D 1.96v for the ram is stable now it goes up in 0.02v steps ....thought it was 1.95v on my old board was sooo long ago though. just installing the new mobo drives as my usb mouse didn't work has to use a ps2 adapter as the chipset drivers were't installed. still all looks good now just need to take the old board back to the shop along with the q connector and make them retest it. :headvswal then it'll be up for sale on fleabay :)

big buggers aint they .. have to take the pci retainer off my case to get it in :headvswal 1.9volts for the corsair i'm off to boot windows cheers all for help yuv bin great guys tanks.............:)

soon as i get im up to stock volts can't wait for a game

i swaped the switches to see if that was it and changed to q connector and is posting now just need to find stock volts for xms2 ram as asus boards seem to pick um up at 1.8v i think they're 1.95 and always crash in windows unless it's upped from default anyway some pics

cheers lampy for the kind offer but got it running now looks like the old board probably ok the twats failed to check......wait for it................ the legendary asus q connector and it's f@cked a 30p item they shall feel my fury on monday this is the culprit

c#nt still won't boot with new board in.Local pc shop gonna get a foot up the arse monday they tested it and said board was faulty and power supply was fine.

if the board is atx format yes

it's here :D arse in gear tomorrow and away to go

oooh sorry it was retail vista I have not oem

if my existing copy don't work I'll phone microsoft and argue the toss with them 1st but will defo be the 64bit next as it support more ram too

it's a different model board. microsoft are c##ts i've only bought vista 6 months ago £80 for 6 months use arrrrrrrrrrrggggggg

sorry think i threw a bit of confusion in there. I already had vista running in with my old board will it still work with the new one or have i got to buy a new copy. I'll find out on sat if my board comes

dx10 only reason dude

i'll rma my old board now for repair can't wait should be able to pick new board up tomorrow.another quick question will vista home prem oem be ok with registering with this board as I bought and installed it on my old board. Does it register your components like xp used to?
